I bought my first Mac and started using Photoshop version 2 way back in the early 90\'s and have stuck with that platform ever since. At that time everyone who was editing images was running a Mac and I assume that PS was only available for Mac. .
And you would be wrong. I stated doing digital imaging professionally in 01 using a Kodak DCS200. a Dell Pentium 90 and Photoshop 2. I\'m STILL doing professional advertising imaging on a W7 box. For years now I have been submitting images to agencies and pre-press houses and no cared a whit what platform the image came from.
I also own three macs, two i7quad MBP\'s and a dual boot Hackintosh. I enjoy the Macs as entertainment, but I\'m still using the w7 workstation for processing and delivery and a brace of W7 laptops for tethered location capture. I might move forward to doing production on the hack if I find it stable enough. But quite frankly I can\'t see any speed incentive for either platform.
No doubt the macs are pretty, but pretty does not make a hill of beans when it comes to producing work. And I simply don\'t see the ROI making sense on Mac.
I\'m having fun with the Macs, mostly because its different.
To each his own I guess.
